FLUID FILM® Gel BW and Gel BN
Permanently soft, solvent-free lanolin gel coating applied in a single coat to ballast tanks, void spaces and pontoons without sandblasting.
Description
FLUID FILM® Gel BW (white) and Gel BN (natural) are permanently soft, lanolin-based, solvent-free and non-toxic anti-corrosive gel coatings for all metals. They protect against moisture, salt solutions and atmospheres in marine, agriculture and industrial environments, on both new and old constructions.
Key features
- Single-coat application
- No sandblasting: on new construction loose mill scale and weld flux are removed; in service the gel can be applied over tightly adhering rust
- Typical coverage per drum: 170 m² (1,833 ft²) at 1.23 mm (48 mils) on new steel; 146 m² (1,571 ft²) at 1.44 mm (56 mils) on rusty steel
- Not recommended for extended exposure to bright sunlight (Gel BEW is used instead)
Applications
- Ballast tanks, void spaces and pontoons
- Can also be used as a descaler for heavily corroded tanks
